April 17, 2003 Hi Folks, This will be my last log in the Log#28 series from Turkey, and I will next start with Log #29a in Greek waters.

Kemer, Turkey March 29, 2003 Hi Folks, Here is my last log about marina life.

In early April, we (Aubrey and Judy) left Veleda on the hard in San Carlos, on the west coast of Mexico on the Sea of Cortez for the summer while they returned to their trailer which was stored at an RV park in Rodeo, New Mexico, USA. From there they towed it 3000 miles back to Toronto, Ontario, arriving in Canada by April 30.

We have moved back to land! In this regard we have taken a nice two bedroom apartment with a balcony in a small town in Northern Ontario, and moved in at the beginning of June. We will live there until late October when we will once again return to Veleda in Mexico to sail the west coast of Mexico for the winter, until we return to our apartment in April of 2018.
